From highly customizable wheel rims to an innovative wheelbase and even an active pedal prototype, Simagic is redefining the possibilities for sim racing enthusiasts. Let's break down what makes this lineup so special and how it could tie into the much-anticipated release of Assetto Corsa Evo.

Customizable Wheel Rims for Every Driving Style

One of the most intriguing announcements from Simagic is the new UP+ system, which offers extensive customization options for wheel rims. Whether you're into GT, rally, or drifting, there's something here for everyone:

• 310mm Square GT
• 320mm Square GT
• 300mm Open GT
• 300mm D-shaped GT
• 320mm D-shaped GT
• 320mm Round (available in alcantara or ultra-fiber drift surface)
• 330mm Round Rally

These rims come in alcantara and leather finishes, providing comfort and style. The Zeus GT module adds further versatility, allowing racers to configure their shifter paddle setups with options for two-paddle, three-paddle, and even analog clutch paddles.

MagDock Dashboards: A Game-Changer

The new MagDock system offers unmatched flexibility for dash displays. Racers can magnetically attach dashboards to either their wheel or the Alpha Evo wheelbase. Switching between wheel-mounted and base-mounted displays is seamless and tool-free, making it perfect for those who love to adapt their setup on the fly.

Dashboards will be available in 3-inch and 5-inch sizes, ensuring compatibility with different setups and preferences.

P500 Pedals and Active Pedal Prototype

Simagic's commitment to innovation extends to pedals, with the introduction of the P500 entry-level set and a groundbreaking active pedal prototype. Here are the highlights:

• P500 Pedals: Priced at $199, these pedals feature a 100kg load cell brake and magnetic hall sensors for the throttle and optional clutch. They are fully adjustable and upgradable with Simagic's haptic motors.
• Active Pedal Prototype: While details are still under wraps, this pedal hints at a future where sim racers can enjoy even more precise and realistic feedback.

The P500 pedals are available now, while the active pedal prototype and other products will launch in 2025.

How This Aligns with Assetto Corsa Evo

With Assetto Corsa Evo on the horizon, the timing of Simagic's announcements couldn't be better. The next-gen driving simulator promises unparalleled realism, and having hardware like the UP+ system or MagDock dashboards will allow racers to fully immerse themselves in the experience. Imagine tackling the Nürburgring with a fully customized wheel rim or navigating rally stages with responsive, haptic-equipped pedals. Simagic's innovations seem tailor-made for a new era of sim racing.
